Answer:
The answer is (81).
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex](-9)^{3}[/tex] = (-9)(-9)(-9)
You are simply multiplying -9 by the power it is raised to, in this case, 3.
Break this up into two parts:
(-9)(-9) = 81. This equals a positive number because a negative times a negative equals a positive.
Then continue by plugging in your value:
(81)(-9) = -729; this equals a negative because it is a positive times a negative.
*****When you enter [tex](-9)^{3}[/tex] into a calculator, you HAVE to put parentences. When raising negatives to a power, this is the only way to get the right answer.
